Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
